Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 300 300: Big storm on Hong Kong Island!

Money talks here.

The dusty Ding Ye is back, and he brings back a sign and some news.

"Uncle."

Mr. Ding said: "They say the government has a special commissioner on Hong Kong Island."

"It is recommended that we go to the special commissioner for help."

Please help me...

Oh, that’s not right either, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Otherwise, it is very easy to be characterized as a violent force.

But if there is legal support, if there is any accident or resistance, it will be the people resisting the invasion.

These are two concepts.

Gao Yao nodded: "I'll take care of this."

"When you go back, hang up the sign and select people to join the association."

"clear."

Master Ding said, "Sister-in-law, I'll have someone prepare it when I get back."

"You damn guy, you're a big shit-eater."

"Fortunately, the brothers are not afraid of death and just do it with guns."

Gao Yao's face suddenly turned serious: "No guns are allowed."

Mr. Ding was stunned: "Uncle."

Gao Yao emphasized: "Remember, you can do anything, but you can't use guns."

Although the Kowloon Walled City is still under the management of Bao'an, there is no government office here.

Longcheng has the right to defend itself, but it must not use guns when confronting the Hong Kong government, otherwise it will give others a handle.

Master Ding could only respond: "I understand, uncle."

“Everything must be legal and compliant.”

Gao Yao said: "We are not the government, so don't do anything arrogant at this time."

"Also, keep in touch with Lu Dachao and others, that's all."

Special correspondent…

Gao Yao thought for a moment, and it seemed that he needed to make this trip.

The special commissioner's name is Guo Dehua, whose ancestral home is Panyu and was born on Hong Kong Island.

He studied in the United Kingdom and the United States at an early age. After returning to China, he successively served as professor and dean of the University Department of China Public School, section chief of the Jiangsu Provincial Office of Negotiation, and staff officer of Songlu Garrison Commander Major General.

After the war, he was appointed as the special commissioner of the Hong Kong Island Office of the Commissioner's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Most officials under the Kuomintang rule generally have the same hobby, like gold and silver.

After Gao Yao's men presented him with a pair of golden toads, Guo Dehua immediately opened the middle door and welcomed Gao Yao into the Guo Mansion.

"President Gao is here. It's hard to welcome him from afar."

Guo Dehua is now in his prime, a good official, and his speech is full of energy.

"I have always wanted to visit President Gao."

Guo Dehua laughed: "There is always no time to spare."

In fact, I am afraid of being rejected.

The biggest role of this special correspondent on Hong Kong Island is to help people in need issue passports.

Other than that, I just do some uploading and distributing things.

It's like a little transparent.

For example, at least Liu Fangxiong of Xiangjiang Station rarely talked about this special correspondent.

It's like it doesn't exist.

Gao Yao smiled and said: "How can we let the special commissioner come in person?"

"Of course I'm here to visit."

"Special correspondent."

Not long after the two sat down, Gao Yao asked directly: "Do you know the recent hygiene and cleanliness campaign sponsored by the Hong Kong government?"

This movement is so powerful, how could Guo Dehua not know about it?

He shook his head and said: "The chairman said that the reason why we can save the country and rejuvenate the nation now lies in the 'everyday meal' of 'vegetables, rice, cloth and silk', that is, we must start from 'the common meal of 'vegetables, rice, cloth and silk'."

“A new life that conforms to etiquette, justice and shame starts with not spitting indiscriminately and taking good care of hygiene.”

Guo Dehua praised: "The Hong Kong government has done a good thing after all."

Gao Yao smiled slightly. Behind this good thing was the help of Chinese representatives like him.

Ask money to give money, ask people to give.

Otherwise, how could the Hong Kong government be able to carry out such a general cleanup that would affect the entire territory?

"That's what the commissioner said."

Now it seems that the whole Hong Kong is enjoying itself and everyone is in high spirits.

But Gao Yao didn't take it seriously.

No one wants to live in a garbage dump, and no one wants to go to the garbage dump to find a piece of unburned briquettes, or a piece of extremely dirty rag.

All of this is because life is too poor. People can only care about feeding themselves first. Where do they have the time and energy to take care of hygiene?What morality?
However, Gao Yao knew that Guo Dehua was a member of the government after all and would never consider things from the public's perspective.

People like this use buses for personal use when traveling, or ask others to open doors for convenience, and even issue passports at will to receive benefits.

They do not think that they are corrupting, but that this is the ability of power itself.

Gao Yao continued: "In the first two days, the Hong Kong government sent people to the Kowloon Walled City to prepare for a sanitation campaign there."

"No reason!"

Guo Dehua not only couldn't laugh, but also got angry.

There was no way, if Gao Yao didn't tell him, he would just pretend he didn't know.

Now let's face it, as a special commissioner, he has the responsibility to protect the country.

This is the first priority. If you can't do this, it will most likely be taken down.

Guo Dehua said: "Westerners are too arrogant. They didn't inform me of such things in advance?"

Gao Yao pretended to be surprised: "The commissioner doesn't know?"

Guo Dehua sighed: "People only think of me as a clay Bodhisattva."

At that time, the Nationalist Government and the British Government were at loggerheads over the surrender. Later, Chang Kaishen reached an agreement with the British and authorized Harcourt to accept the surrender on behalf of the British Government and Chang Kaishen on Hong Kong Island.

Since then, the Hong Kong government has firmly controlled Hong Kong Island and has been somewhat ostracizing officials sent by the Nationalist Government.

Guo Dehua glanced at Gao Yao, and he knew that Gao Yao had taken over.

No wonder Gao gave him a pair of golden toads as a gift when he arrived.

Guo Dehua still behaved like a gangster when he used people's money to eliminate disasters, so he asked: "President Gao, what do you mean?"

Gao Yao asked: "Commissioner, I am just an ordinary Chinese."

Guo Dehua thought to himself that you are too ordinary. If the party and the country were all ordinary people like you, the Chairman would not be able to sleep well.

"President Gao is humble."

"I would like to ask on behalf of the residents of Kowloon Walled City."

Gao Yao asked: "Is Longcheng still under the rule of the National Government?"

"Yes, absolutely!"

Today is an era of national awakening, and the word "country" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Guo Dehua does not dare to relent on this matter.

He immediately said categorically: "Our Nationalist Government owns the sovereignty of Kowloon Walled City and has never given up its position on Kowloon Walled City."

Gao Yao applauded, and he stood up and shook hands with Guo Dehua: "Special Commissioner, the majority of residents are very happy that you said this."

"We'll see."

Niang Xipi was put on the fire like this.

After sending Gao Yao away, Guo Dehua looked at Jin Chan and sighed, "It's numb, the young man is getting more and more cunning."

"Wow, which God of Wealth is so generous?"

A beautiful woman picked up a golden toad and played with it carefully without hesitation: "Oh, it's produced by Chow Tai Fook."

"The jewelry in this gold shop is very authentic."

"That's bullshit."

Guo Dehua took the woman into his arms and raised his hands: "Do you know what price your husband has to pay for this?"

The woman giggled: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters."

"My dear, you are so generous, why don't you go back?"

Are you kidding me? I travel thousands of miles to seek official positions just for money.

If you don't get paid as an official, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

If Guo Dehua returns these golden toads, he will no longer be involved in the party state.

The woman smiled and said, "You are a hero in my heart."

"No matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem for you."

With that said, she put the two golden toads in her pocket without any ceremony.

"Now that the price of gold is soaring, I will use it to exchange for money."

Guo Dehua's eyelids narrowed, come on, he must go to the Governor's Mansion this time.

That's right, Mr. Guo is also the special commissioner of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he represents the face of the Nationalist government outside.

Naturally, he could easily enter and leave the Governor's Mansion to interview Grantham.

"Your Excellency the Governor."

Guo Dehua is very stubborn and has no choice. He is eating from the party and the state, so naturally he does not need to give Grantham face.

"I heard that you sent people into Kowloon Walled City?"

Guo Dehua sternly said: "I have to remind you that our government has jurisdiction over Kowloon Walled City. I will condemn your violation of this contract and report it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Just wait for the diplomatic note."

Grantham didn't take it seriously. For so many years, what the National Government was best at was protesting, and it couldn't do much else.

It's nothing more than a verbal spat.

Moreover, Grantham believed that the British government would definitely support his actions.

He immediately said: "Mr. Commissioner, the hygiene in Kowloon Walled City has become so bad that it has to be dealt with."

"Absolutely impossible." Guo Dehua vetoed it. It was absolutely impossible for him to admit such a thing. He just said: "Whatever needs to be done, it must be done by our government."

"Your Majesty the Governor, this is a matter of principle that cannot be discussed."

Guo Dehua said: "Sovereignty will never be trampled on, please take care of yourself."

Grantham watched silently as Guo Dehua left. Even the National Government was involved, but he wanted to stop on his own?

But Christmas is coming soon, so it’s not a good time to make any big moves.

After Guo Dehua returned, he personally called Gao Yao: "President Gao, I have already reprimanded Grantham."

"I believe he already knows what's going on."

Gao Yao couldn't hold himself any longer. Grantham felt a lot of shit in his heart. He had already received the wind. This man seemed to be preparing to take tough action.

"Thank you for your hard work, special correspondent."

Gao Yao followed up and said: "There must be a generous gift."

Guo Dehua likes to help the president of the chamber of commerce like Gao Yao, he is straightforward and will never talk back. He knows that this money cannot be given because of his trip to the Governor's Mansion.

Then he expressed positively: "President Gao, don't worry."

"Kowloon Walled City is an integral part of our country."

"The Hong Kong government sends people in and out at will without permission. This is contempt for the country and a trample on sovereignty."

"I will immediately notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Baoan County Government."

Guo Dehua patted his chest and promised: "The Hong Kong government will not succeed."

Gao Yao was then satisfied: "We'll see."

The expected consequence is that newspapers that tend to undermine the Democratic Party will begin to report on the Hong Kong government's entry into the Kowloon Walled City with great fanfare.

Among them, there are many people who speak fiercely. Some say that the Hong Kong government is ambitious, while others say that the Hong Kong government has bad intentions.

In short, the market is starting to become lively.

Currently, newspapers on Hong Kong Island are divided into three branches: left, center and right.

In line with the principle that I must oppose whatever the enemy opposes, the old leftist began to criticize the Democratic Party as a cyst in the wood and a dead meal.

After all this time, the Kowloon Walled City issue has not been resolved.

When the Hong Kong government saw that there were friendly forces, it naturally ordered its newspapers to start participating in the war of words.

Originally it was just an unconfirmed matter, but this move made the whole world know that the Hong Kong government seemed to be cleaning up the Kowloon Walled City.

At that time, the citizens of Hong Kong Island didn't feel much about it, but the people of Guangfu couldn't bear it.

Originally, they were very dissatisfied with the National Government's decision not to take back Hong Kong Island after the war. Now that the ghosts were angry, some people immediately shouted: "Down with the foreigners."

"This world is no longer the world of foreigners."

"We have the responsibility to protect our land."

I have to say that everyone still attaches great importance to the awakening of national consciousness after the war.

There were marches everywhere throughout Guangfu, and the people were indignant, and their target was the Consulate General of the British government in Guangfu.

Some people even threw Molotov cocktails at the Consulate General, which caused a round of applause.

In the past few decades, they have gone from obeying the orders of foreigners to shouting to drive away foreigners.

I am so proud of China.

"Chairman Song negotiated with the British and refused the British's rights in the Kowloon Walled City."

"The Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress ordered the people to observe order and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lodge a protest and make solemn representations."

There was a lot of commotion outside, but Gao Yao was contented in Gao's mansion.

He looked at the contents of the newspaper and thought deeply. The matter was serious.

Even Chang Kaishen came out to give a speech.

However, the Hong Kong government has not responded so far. It seems that the storm is still behind us.

……

"Hahaha."

Who is the happiest person?
Of course it was Keswick and his like, who were excitedly passing newspapers to each other: "Even the National Government jumped out to express its opinions."

"Now that your Excellency has been officially put on the fire, it is difficult to get off the tiger. I think he is not feeling well."

They are happy to see it happen.

"Yes."

Someone said excitedly: "It would be great if there was another parade on Hong Kong Island."

Everyone sighed together: "These guys are too tolerant."

Without the words or tacit approval of presidents such as Gao Yao and Zhou Xinian, there would not be many teams that could come out to march, and it would be difficult to achieve success.

This is the biggest regret for Keswick and the others.

Because the empire has always had a habit of never accepting such threats. It would rather be beaten to a bloody head and then forgive, and it would never bow its head beforehand.

This is the dignity of a nobleman. Even if he is hungry, he must polish his leather shoes.

"But that's okay."

Keswick said leisurely: "The more joyfully they dance, the deeper this stab will penetrate into your heart."

"After Christmas, I think you will definitely take big action."

For foreigners, Christmas is the New Year. There are only a few days left, and no one will make any big moves at this time.

Keswick calculated that Grantham was going to do something after Christmas.

And it’s a sure thing!
Because this is about the face of a government!

"I think it's settled this time."

A group of foreigners are very certain about this, and no one understands the Hong Kong government better than them.

The reason why we launched the sanitation campaign in the first place was because there was only one way to solve the mess in the Kowloon Walled City.

tear it down!

Tear them all down!

Apart from this method, there is no other choice!

"Yes."

Keswick vowed: "It will be demolished."

He had already learned from the secretary of the Governor's Mansion that Police Commissioner McIntosh had been very diligent in coming to the Governor's Mansion these days.

At the cusp of such a storm, and when there were no demonstrations on Hong Kong Island, why did McIntosh frequently contact the Governor?

Besides marching into the city armed again, what else could it be?
"Once the proud wolf king shows his weakness, he will inevitably attract all the leading wolves to eat him."

Keswick smiled and said: "This is the iron law of struggle."

"It can serve as a warning to those who come after us."

"Everyone."

He raised the wine glass in his hand high: "For future victory, drink victory."

Everyone suddenly agreed: "Drink to win!"

……

The storm is getting bigger and bigger, making people panic. Many people unconsciously think of the general strike in the province and Hong Kong decades ago.

No one wants to suffer that kind of tragedy again.

It's just hell on earth.

"President Gao, how can this happen?"

Of course it was Zhou Xinian who spoke. It could almost be said that everything started because of him. No one would pay more attention to this than him.

I just took a few people to Kowloon Walled City to have a look, but nothing happened after that.

Why have you become a sinner for all eternity?

Gao Yao, who stabbed Zhou Xinian with his own hands, comforted him: "President Zhou, everyone knows that you are public-minded."

I know my mother.

Fortunately, the newspaper has not mentioned Zhou Xinian by name, otherwise he would have to apologize to everyone.

Zhou Xinian smiled bitterly: "Now the party and state are criticizing this. If people on our side are deceived, what will happen?"

"will not."

Gao Yao said: "I have strictly ordered the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce not to participate in this matter."

The Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is a general term. Zhou Xinian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked: "President Gao, why do you think the party-state is so angry?"

Why is Gao Yao so angry?
Mother Lei, how much money did labor and capital put into this?
Damn, how can they not get angry?
The person involved, Gao Yao, pretended to be dumbfounded: "I don't know either."

"Hey."

Zhou Xinian stamped his feet: "These people have good intentions and do bad things."

"The Hong Kong government never accepts threats."

"If you do this..."

He looked at Gao Yao and then said hesitantly: "I'm afraid..."

Gao Yao said calmly: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided."

He said slowly: "What is supposed to come will always come."

Ever since the Hong Kong government took action, Gao Yao concluded that this incident was unavoidable.

Neither side can give in and will always have to fight head-on.

As for whether this will anger the Hong Kong government, Gao Yao no longer has so many worries.

"My son-in-law."

While he was talking, he heard Baifanyu yelling loudly from a distance. His footsteps became more urgent and he broke into the study in a few seconds.

After seeing Zhou Xinian, Bai Fanyu nodded slightly and said to Gao Yao: "Don't worry about this matter, I will handle it."

Zhou Xinian's eyes brightened slightly, and he thought to himself that Boss Gao Bai really had nothing to say to Chairman Gao.

If Boss Bai is willing to come out and fight the matter, things will get much better later.

Gao Yao didn't answer, he just smiled and said: "Taishan, didn't you say that Bai Xuexian and Ren Jianhui will be on stage together today?"

"I'm still listening to nonsense."

Originally Baifanyu didn't know about it, but the incident was so big that when he went to the theater today, a few old theater friends mentioned it in passing.

The experienced white rice fish in the world immediately understood that this matter was a fire pit, and Gao Yao could not be pushed into it, so he had to step out to take charge of the overall situation.

They say they are in charge of the overall situation, but they are actually resisting the pot.
